Features, Performance, and Reviews for the ARROWS A 101F SoftBank 8GB

The "ARROWS A 101F SoftBank 8GB" is 64.0mm wide, 130.0mm tall, and 9.9mm thick. At this size, a man with large hands would be able to operate it comfortably with one hand, but it may feel a bit large for a woman with small hands. In the case of the "ARROWS A 101F SoftBank 8GB", it weighs about 138.0g. The weight is such that it's hardly noticeable even when using one-handed. However, some people may find it tiring to use for long periods.

Both the size and weight of the "ARROWS A 101F SoftBank 8GB" make it easy to hold in your hand and are unlikely to cause any trouble when you use it normally.

The CPU performance of ARROWS A 101F SoftBank 8GB

The "ARROWS A 101F SoftBank 8GB" only has 1.0GB of RAM, which is fairly low. The RAM is regularly insufficient, so operation gets unstable and jerky even when using apps that are not resource intensive.

In rating the "ARROWS A 101F SoftBank 8GB"'s overall operational speed, it ranks at the low end of smartphones. It will lag and feel sluggish even during normal use. In most cases, users will feel the performance to be lacking.

ARROWS A 101F SoftBank 8GB 's storage capacity

The "ARROWS A 101F SoftBank 8GB" has 8.0GB of data storage. This is fine if you mainly use email or social media sites, but if you plan to take photos and videos or play games, you should buy an upgrade.

ARROWS A 101F SoftBank 8GB 's screen

The "ARROWS A 101F SoftBank 8GB" has a 4.3inch screen. The iPhone X has a big screen, which very likely won't ever trouble you. Just be aware that it's not a very good size for writing long blocks of text.

The resolution of the "ARROWS A 101F SoftBank 8GB"'s screen is pretty much standard. It shouldn't be a problem for normal use, but it might prove to be a bit dissatisfying for those who wish to better enjoy their photos, videos, or games.

The camera function of ARROWS A 101F SoftBank 8GB

The "ARROWS A 101F SoftBank 8GB" has a 13.1MP main camera that lets you take photos and videos in a quite high resolution.

The "ARROWS A 101F SoftBank 8GB" comes equipped with a 1.32MP pixel front-facing camera, which is very low resolution. If you aren't particular about your videos or photos, it might be fine, but otherwise, we recommend a smartphone at least one tier higher.

The "ARROWS A 101F SoftBank 8GB"'s performance level is that of a budget smartphone. It's a bit too weak to use as a main smartphone, so if possible you should consider something slightly more powerful.
